Saturday, October 24, 1:00pm to 3:30pm
OR Sunday, October 25, 1:00pm to 3:30pm
In-person at grunt gallery, 350 E 2nd Ave, Vancouver
Registration Fee: $20 / Free for Indigenous participants / PWYC 

We're excited to present the first workshop in the fall season of our interdisciplinary workshop series, Lines into the Air. Facilitated by bailey macabre (they/them), a transdisciplinary visual artist, writer, and member of Beardy’s & Okemasis Cree Nation, Fragment & Form: Visual Storytelling through Zines is a soft‑entry zine workshop that celebrates storytelling through fragments. bailey offers a relaxed session where collage, text, and image come together in intuitive, meaningful ways. No experience needed; just curiosity and a willingness to explore. 

bailey macabre (they/them) is a queer, disabled, and neurodivergent agender nêhiyaw + Ukrainian born on Snuneymuxw territory, tied to Beardys & Okemasis Cree Nation near Duck Lake, SK. Their interdisciplinary practice is varied and depends greatly on whatever their current hyperfixation is. they are an illustrator, writer, comic artist, textile worker, poet, sculptor, painter, and media artist. Much of their work focuses on themes of queer passion, Indigenous joy, intimacy, Indigenous futurism, and healing. With a penchant for bright colours, Indigenous sovereignty, and deviance in many forms, their work is multifaceted and ever changing. they have illustrated the cover of two of Jen Ferguson’s novels published by HarperCollins, a children’s book published by Medicine Wheel Publishing, and their work has been published by The Walrus, The Capilano Review, The Yellowhead Institute, Augur Magazine, carte blanche, and exhibited at the Nanaimo Art Gallery, The View Gallery, the Banff Centre, The Polygon Gallery, Visions Textile Museum, and open space.

ASL interpretation is available upon request. If you would benefit from ASL interpretation at the workshop, please indicate so in your registration form when prompted. 

Accessibility information can be found through the registration link in our bio or at https://grunt.ca/accessibility-statement/. Please contact grunt via access@grunt.ca with any questions. The background of the post consists of grey and purple lines forming waves like static. An image centred on the left overlaid with a purple filter shows bailey macabre holding five zines up in a fan in front of their face, with a keffiyeh hanging behind them. Black and turquoise lettering over the image reads "zine making workshop with bailey macabre." Post text reads: "Fall 2026 Workshops. Fragment & Form: Visual Storytelling Through Zines with bailey macabre." grunt's logo is on the left. by @thecapilanoreview

Registration is now open for our Lines into the Air fall workshops! 

Lines into the Air is a year-long series of interdisciplinary writing workshops that take up the communal practice of writing as an urgent means of being and thinking together — across boundaries, fields, and forms.

Highlighting the myriad ways in which writing practices not only exist but flourish outside of disciplinary and institutional bounds, this series brings together facilitators and participants from diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise to reposition creative writing as expansive community inquiry, offering, and exchange.

✏️ Registration is now open for our Fall 2026 season, featuring workshops with bailey macabre and Guadalupe Martinez. 

These will be the last two workshops of our Lines into the Air series. We hope to see you there! 

Follow the links in our bio for full workshop and registration details. The background to the post is a gradient of purple and dark grey waves of static. On the top left corner, yellow text emerges from the waves, reading "Lines into the Air." Centred is yellow text in bold that reads "Fall workshop registration now open" by @thecapilanoreview
